About Ashgrove

Type of School

Ashgrove is a full primary school, catering for children from Year 0 to 8, with a current grading roll of 546 pupils.

Description of school

Ashgrove School is located on the North West side of Rangiora close to contributory kindergartens and Rangiora High School.
The School covers 2.25 hectares consisting of an administration block, teaching blocks, school hall, technology centre, library, pool, dental clinic, caretakers workshop, and storage facility.  We also enjoy the use of Ashgrove Park, which adjoins the school. In 2003 a new library was built and in 2004 a new hall was built. This process necessitated the relocation of  four existing classrooms.

The school community

The community/socio economic indicator is decile .9.  We have many supportive, interested, questioning parents who are keen to develop their childrens ability to full potential.  They encourage extra activities, enjoy family pursuits, and encourage discussion.

Many families have both parents working.  The community is a mixture of retired people and families.  It is close-knit, supportive and caring though changing rapidly in composition through growth.  There is a significant British immigrant community.

Participation in a variety of sporting and cultural activities is a feature in the wider community.
